Haven't read the whole post, but thanks for a good read so far and for making a really good point. I really agree that expectations rule the tone and outlook of reviews. And expectations with games are different from expectations with movies, because gamers naturally take apart games to get to the part they like. Some insist they only care about gameplay, others story or characters...
This also relates to Twesterm's post about why some games get a free pass on issues while others get killed for them, and a really good post on Kotaku from weeks ago. I'm too busy to find links right now.
Anyway, I'll read the rest later.
